Soooo, it looked as though Benny was also going to have a leaping contest of sorts with the amphibian. Cool! Adi turned to flop on his belly so he could watch this properly. "Glendower would do a better job,'' he stated knowingly. WHY did she have to leave too?

The Hufflepuff now focused his attention on his companions. This was one of those moments when Benny was more open. Too bad for the world they didn't get to see this side of him. Gus seemed to understand the Lion for with a croak and a hop, he was off!

Benny shook his head at Adi's question of the toad. "I doubt he could do that." Gus and Adi were partners in crime as much as he and Adi were. The only time he and Gus had been that close was when he was the Mad Hatter. And when he and Adi were fighting and he couldn't get the toad back to his friend. Maybe it was just because the toad hadn't been around him lately as opposed to his human dormmate.

As he readied himself and waited on his race companion, he watched his friend get comfortable. "Yeah she probably could. Though how do a toad and an owl deal with puppets?" Much less speak out their problems to each other, even though the two of them always seemed to have this way of understanding each other's hoots and croaks.

When Gus was off with a hop hop, Benny took a hop of his own, pushing off the ground with his hands and his feet and landing several inches away. The seventh year repeated the process, trying to keep track of his toad companion as he did so to avoid landing on him. Hop hop went the lion turned amphibian along the ground as Adi watched them from his spot on the ground.

"I wouldn't really mind,'' Adi said. "Or maybe I will.'' Hmmm. Yes, he would mind. "I wouldn't mind if he likes both of us the same amount though.'' Yep! That sounded better! The boy, after all, brothers from other mother so yeah. Even the love, Gus! "He probably got extra attached to you after last term. You know... when you didn't trust me.'' Squint, squint at you, Benny. Adi had a feeling he would never let Benny forget that. Okay, maybe in the future but today was definitely not the future.

"I just need food now to make myself happier.'' A toad/human hopping race with food. Mhmm! But as for now he would have to do without food and rely on the delicious Froggies he had. Omnomnom. "I have no idea.'' Hehe. That was amusing, the thought of Gus and Conrad with puppets. "I have a feeling they might not need them unless Conrad decides to not want to talk about his feelings like his owner.'' Adi innocently eyed Benny as he took a bite of the Frog's chocolatey head.
....................

Adi watched his two friends take off hopping as he nommed contentedly. Gus was doing his best, hopping away super fast. Benny wasn't doing bad either though he seemed to be hooping a bit more cautiously. "GO, Benny! GOOO, Gus!'' Woohoo! Cheerleader Adi was there to encourage!

Ethan was surprisingly in a good mood that day, and he was in the right disposition to get one of his homeworks done. It would have been better if he didn’t need to do any school work that day, but for someone who already took his OWLs, he knew that it was best not to waste time on doing absolutely nothing.

…

In all seriousness though, how can he let a good day pass just like that?! And so, after taking a very light breakfast from the Great Hall, Ethan got his goblet, brought it out of the castle, and drank the rest of his pumpkin juice as he walked around the castle grounds. Merlin, he was really going to miss his morning walks once his seventh year is over!

Far from the Whomping Willow, Ethan sat on the ground and watched a few students pass by him contemplating whether or not he should give his Potion homework a go. Was it really a wise idea to do it alone?

As thoughts of apprehension swirled inside his head, Ethan didn’t notice himself finish his pumpkin juice, clean his goblet with a cleaning spell, transferring his base potion in his cleaned goblet and added his preferred animal part into his drink. Squinting, his potion turned into a nasty shade of brownish gray. Ethan could bet that the potion won’t taste that good too. Making a face, he looked around his immediate surroundings, wishing he had packed food with him. What if he got stuck in that form for hours, got hungry, and won’t be able to climb up back to the castle?! It would be disaster!

Owen was...apprehensive. He'd never drank a potion before, much less drink a potion that was going to turn him into an animal. The idea was soooo exciting and all but now that the time for him to actually consume it has come, he was having second thoughts. What if he brewed it wrong? What if the potion made him stay an animal forever? Forever was a reaaaaaally long time.

Owen, stop fidgeting." He said to himself internally. He had to do this. This was a homework, and if anything goes wrong, well...Professor Culloden will just have to come up with an idea to save him.

With his glass of rainbow-colored potion (he already added in the animal part) clasped tightly, the Hufflepuff took a look at his surroundings (who knew, it could be his last time to look at his surroundings as a human) before bringing the glass to his lips.....BUT HOLD IT RIIIIIIIGHT THERE.

He just saw an older boy place some things on his goblet. ...Animal part? He HAD to have the same agenda as Owen. Owen had to find out. He would feel more comfortable with this if he got to do it with someone. The guy looked nice enough, surely he wouldn't mind.

"Excuse me," the young badger started, "Are you doing the Potions homework?" Please say yes please say yes.

He really should have brought food with him. He knew he'd be bored...and stay as his preferred animal for hours. He was sure he brewed his base potion well, and that he didn't miss a step, critical ones or otherwise. He also willed the potion to be a strong one, so he gauged that he'll have to deal with being a cute--oh.

Oh a person! A person who might've food!

Ethan turned to see who it was, and almost jumped in excitement that the kid who found him might actually have a stash of sweets at least. Well, he looked like he always have food in his person, no? Anyway. "Hello." Ethan grinned at the boy wearing a yellow trimmed robe. "I am. Are you?" he asked eyeing the thing in his hand. Who knows, maybe the newcomer was just hungry and wanted to have a good view while munching his chow...

SCORE!

He was doing the homework too. Owen felt relieved...somewhat. At least if something wrong happened to his transformation then someone would be there next to him...or something like that. "Hiii." Owen returned the grin. Thankfully this older person was indeed nice. "Yes. I'm Owen, by the way. I'm a first year Hufflepuff." This guy appeared to be from Slytherin, with his green tie. Would he be okay with Owen's proposition? "Do you want to...um...drink the potion together? I'm...a bit scared." Owen!puppy!eyes. Please say please say yes.

Hufflepuffs and their very positive disposition in life, yeah? This one in particular was just so full of it, Ethan found it hard NOT to be in a better mood. "It's a pleasure to meet you Owen, House of Hufflepuff. I'm Ethan, seventh year Slytherin." Hi hello, how do you dooooooooo? The older student wanted to do chit chat some more with Owen, but then, they've got plenty of time to do that after the homework, yeah?

Oh...oh, so it was his potion and not his liquid breakfast.

The moment he was asked, Ethan looked down at his goblet and weighed his options. "I'm game...however, I think my potion's going to last longer than yours," he trailed off wondering if Owen thought of that bit. "Assuming that mine will last for hours, will you mind accompanying me until I turn back to being human after you?" he would've posed a more demanding deal, but seeing that he's only dealing with a first year, he shouldn't, and play his older student card right.

Yes, he was from Slytherin. Ethan and he was a seventh year. Hooray! A safer, more knowleadgeable companion! Owen's relief was about 57.99% now. Haha. The young badger was beaming now.

More so because Ethan agreed! YES THANK YOU THANK YOU. Owen was nodding all the while the older boy was talking. He was game. He would wait until Ethan would be back to his normal self. Owen was sure his potion would last longer than his own anyway. "Suuure! If I myself get back to normal too, that is." Chuckle. He can only hope and trust in his brewing abilities.

They were to do this now, yes? "On the count of three? ...Wait, cheers first." Of course, they were men. Men toasted.

---

“Now is not the time to have self-doubt, young badger.” He said in a serious tone, and shortly, let out a series of chuckles. “In all seriousness though, Professor Culloden’s got a very watchful eye. He’d know if your base potion is defective or not.” A pregnant pause. “You’ll be fine. We’ll be fine.” He said, convincing himself as well.

“Oh and one more thing? Let’s have fun. Cheers, mate!” Ethan raised his glass, counted from one to three and gulped the contents of his goblet.

Holy winged boar. “That tasted awf—” Oops. No time to finish his sentence because Ethan looked like he was going to show and tell what he had for breakfast. The taste was definitely NOT the most pleasant out there. Probably that’s how dung tasted? Quite possible, yes.

Ethan swallowed whatever was in his mouth, as he let the empty goblet drop on the ground, and clutched his stomach. The sensation was VERY weird at first…then he felt slight pain from his joints. His vision started to blur…his hearing became stronger…and were those flies zooming past his ears? Ethan involuntarily shooed the flying insects with a good twitch, twitch of his ears. He felt his chest grow broader…his legs and grow heavier and limp…and his arms and hands felt like it was being compacted into a very tight solid container.

The Slytherin tried to talk, but his really long, stuffy tongue was in the way! He also tried to wrinkle his nose and he could swear he inhaled ANOTHER flying insect. He was curious as to how big his nostrils were really. Going back to his vision…the colours were a mess…like…he was colour blind or something, and it was as if he’s looking through a fish eye lens. Blink blink.

Going back now to his companion, Ethan tried to move but couldn’t. He felt like a huge, lump of meat sat on his big bum.

…and are those HOOVES?!?!?! “It worked!!!” he could hear himself say it, but the sound that came out of his mouth was…rather weird and interesting. “HEE-HAAAAAWWW!!!” Ethan blinked, slightly panicking as he entertained the idea of being stuck as a Donkey forever. Ethan raised what was supposed to be his right arm, and examined his hooves, then looked behind him to see his other…

MERLIN IS THAT HIS BUM AND TAIL?!?!?!

Ethan laughed at what he saw, temporarily forgetting his worry…and Owen. “HEE-HAAWW! HEE-HAAWWW! HEE-HAAWW!!” Merlin. Braying Donkey!Ethan was a sight to see indeed.

No. Definitely not the time for self-doubt. Owen nodded at the Slytherin's words of encouragement. Have fun. Of coooourse! Then they were clinking their cups together and from his peripheral vision, Owen could see the older boy drinking his potion as he downed his own fill.

MERLIN'S SPOILED MILK AND ROTTEN LETTUCES! That was...unpleasant. Ew? He couldn't help but grimace. Vaguely, he heard Ethan's voice but it seemed so distant......as he gulped the brew and felt himself began to shiver...

...Then it happened. His shoulders were moving up and down up and down up and down, his legs doing some awkward plie of some kind. He couldn't stop his eyes from blinking fast. He felt himself SHRINK. There was some sort of hardening happening at his legs and his toes felt like it was being pulled apart from each other...gently. His mouth felt like it was morphing into something he couldn't quite put his finger on. And his arms! Oh, his arms...it felt like it was covered on super soft cloth, but with overlapping layers of what even... Finally, he was able to control his blinking.

Emerging from his pile of discarded clothes (and some food!treats), Owen opened his eyes. Everything looked SO big and clear. Whoa....this was so far from what he was used to. It felt like he could see everything. Well, not quite everything but he sure was seeing MORE. He tried to move, arms first...and was ecstatic to find himself covered in feathers. FEATHERS! That meant he did it. The potion worked its magic. He could flap and even....WHAT IN FERRERO ROCHER'S NAME WAS THAT INCREDULOUS NOISE?!

He almost forgot about Ethan! Eeek. Ethan...? What whoa...was that Ethan? Boy, he was large. All Owen could see were...hooves? Blink. Blink. He tried to call his companion's attention but all that got out was a squawking noise.

"BRAAAAAAWNGK! PRRRR PRRR AWWHK!"

Was that him? ...Great sugar quills, he even had a beak! This was so weird. So so so weird. Owen tried to raise arms or wings, really. "WAYNG...WOOWANGS..." Oh! He almost forgot. He was a parrot. Parrots talked...sort of. Heh.

Adi watched his two friends take off hopping as he nommed contentedly. Gus was doing his best, hopping away super fast. Benny wasn't doing bad either though he seemed to be hooping a bit more cautiously. "GO, Benny! GOOO, Gus!'' Woohoo! Cheerleader Adi was there to encourage!

Benny was all for sharing the love evenly, the Gryffindor nodding his head in agreement at the other man's thoughts. They both cared for the toad and at times essentially shared the creature between them...them and Conrad. Two human best friends and two animal ones work out well together. Eying back to you there...that period was all over and now they were good. No need to bring up the past as you didn't see him bringing up Adi's own fear over Angel.

He couldn't help chuckling as Adi cheered them on as he and Gus hopped along the ground. It was certainly an amusing image, especially given the fact that he himself was clearly seen and Gus was more covered by the grasses in the area. At least when he was landing or had just taken off. He hoped a few more feet with his toad buddy before finally tripping over a rock as he landed and ended up on the ground. "Umph" he let out as he sprawled out on the ground where he fell. "Gus wins."

--------------------------------
Benny walked out over the grounds with Adi, his stomach a bit nervous. Brewing the transfiguration potion and thinking on what his bestie might do with it was one thing...actually trying it out, and doing it for homework credit was another. The vial was in his pocket safe and sound as well as the fur he needed to add for the actual effects to work. He wasn't going to become a badger though figuring to go for something else that his friend liked to refer to him as.

"You think this is a good place to do this?" he questioned, turning in place as he paused to look at his friend. It seeemed a good a place as any and pretty open for what was to come. The Gryffindor was trying to be as brave about this as he had been with Adi turning him into a dragon. It shouldn't be any different...right? Just the creature he was becoming in the long run was the change in the plan.

Ethan couldn't help but laugh incessantly at the sound he was making. He was laughing so hard in his head, and the sound that came out of his donkey mouth was just...ridiculously funny! "HEE-HAAWW!!! HEEE!!! HEEE!!! HAAWWWW!!!" The Slytherin Donkey tried to clutch his stomach, if he had his stomach still that is, but instead, he was pounding the ground with his front hooves-- which were supposed to be his hands and arms.

He could swear he was already laughing!crying if he were in his human form, but if there were other students who could see him that moment, they'd find a very delirious monkey.

Merlin's beard.

Donkey!Ethan looked around, and saw Owen's clothes on the ground...and in the middle was a parrot! "HEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!" Ethan approves. He would love to give him a thumbs up for a job well done, but his hooves are currently on, so...

OH WAIT ARE THOSE TREATS?!

His lower half still sat on the ground, Donkey!Ethan used his front feet to get closer to said treats while he dragged his bum with him. Treats come first before learning how to stand up and walk, you know? Donkey!Ethan sniffed around Parrot!Owen, his nostrils widening as he did so. He was about to snatch one of the candies, wrapper and all with his tongue but...

PRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTT...BLLLEEUUURRRFFFooooop.

Oops. Donekys can get too much gas too yeah? Well, Ethan was laughing for at least five whole minutes a while ago, so it was no brainer. Donkey!Ethan, also shocked, had his head lowered...tongue out and a few centimeters away from the candy...and his eyes oogled at Parrot!Owen, obviously embarrassed with his accidental release of gas. Donkey!Ethan wafted the bad air with his tail...his eyes still on his new friend, apologizing mentally.

From his position on his belly on the ground, Adi could see Gus through the grass, hopping along on his toady legs. Both his friends were having quite a work out there while he lazed around snacking on froggies. Hehe.

But uh oh! There went Benny. "Yo, you alright there, Dragon?'' He scrambled to his feet to go over to them. Yeaaaah, his friend seemed to be. Goody! And yes! Gus did win! "Gus is the King of Hops!''
...................

They could FINALLLLY try out the potion. Finally, finally! Adi had gotten eagle feathers, keen on flying with actual wings. Again he wished he could be a Hippogriff but hey, he had to make do with what he had, right? He excitedly followed Benny towards the Willow which seemed to have become their spot for that school year.

Was his bestie nervous? Yep, it seemed so. "Of course!'' Adi bounced on his feet as he retrieved his vial and feathers from his pockets. "What animal have you decided on, anyway?" He hadn't told him anything. Why so secretive, Benny? "You know...'' Adi popped open his vial. "You should just think of this as me changing you into a dragon. There were a lot more risks back when I was doing that but nothing went wrong with your potion so you'll be okay.'' He was trying to reassure Benny. Here's to hoping it worked.

The Puffer dropped his feathers into the vial. Immediately the clear potion turned brown. Excitedly he looked at Benny. "Go on. Add whatever you've got and we'll drink the potions at the same time.''

Donkey!Ethan's heehawing was too loud for Owen's parrot ears even though the little openings were covered with tiny contour feathers. It wasn't a surprise that he was having difficulty with finding his footing. Because hearing and balance? Connected in almost all species...especially to a birdie like him. This meant that as he tried and tried to use his wings to bring himself to Donkey!Ethan's eye level (hooves were not a very pretty sight), he was failing. He probably needed to make a run for it to create some sort of momentum, no?

Actually considering this, Parrot!Owen was about to do some hop!run when the donkey's head descended around him. SO BIG. Owen could see fine hair on his muzzle and around his eyes. And his nose...it looked like it had its own face! O.O Oh my. Don't eat us Ethan! "ARWCK ARWKKKK!"

HE HAD TO FLY! What if Ethan accidentally ate him? He knew they were going to retain their human mind but WHAT IF... Owen flailed about, his wings flapping haphazardly...until he was able to control it or was able to bring it to flap up and down. Moving forward, he carefully maneuvered to tilt the lift of his wings for propulsion.

...then he was UP! Merlin, he was flyinggggggg....

...for like a feet from the ground and also before his companion released another weird noise. This time accompanied by... What in the world was that smell?!!!! Despite his nares, Owen knew it was not a good smell. A very not-good smell that it made him lose his control over his flight. FLAP!FAIL back to the ground he went, landing tail first. Ooow, his tail! Did Ethan just...fart?

"HRA HRA HRA!" Hahaha. Ew, Ethan. "YUCKY ETHAN!" Haha---MERLIN'S TUTTI FRUITI. He talked! He was a talking parrot! Oh yes, he waaaaaaaaaaaaas.

The Puffer dropped his feathers into the vial. Immediately the clear potion turned brown. Excitedly he looked at Benny. "Go on. Add whatever you've got and we'll drink the potions at the same time.''

Alright...location chosen.

One step down as Benny nodded in agreement to Adi's answer. As for the question, he paused, momentarily debating what level of knowledge to give his friend. "I chose one off your list," he eventually answered, taking his own two items out of his pocket. There were a few that meshed with Professor Culloden's list as well as the one he had gotten permission to do instead, the seventh year still not sure of how good he'd be changing too small. "I'll...um...try to remember that.

Even if this was HIS brewing over ADI's spellwork. Big difference.
He added the handful of brown fur from a deer into his potion, mimicing his companion. An Eagle for Adi. Benny supposed it was the closest thing to hippogriff his friend the griff lover could get with this potion. Material added, he absently nodded again, eying the vial. One cup of potion. "Alright...on the count of three," the Gryffindor stated, taking a deep breath.

"One...two....three"

Benny drank the liquid down in one quick gulp, not wanting to lose the courage to do it. Like ripping off a bandage. He made a face as he swallowed, almost feeling it clearly as it went down his throat and into his stomach, the effects of the potion spreading further through his body than the actual potion went at the moment. It felt weird....more like the canary cream than the dragon spell as it was working from the inside out it seemed. The first notable change was the appearance of nearly matching brown fur appearing along his skin and clothes with a small flush of heat as it developed and grew thicker. Itchiness soon followed and the hairy human tried vainly to scratch at it but it was useless. There was too much as his body was growing covered with the fur of his creature.

With a twitch or two, a tail was present at his backside and as he turned to look at the brown and white fluffy shape, Benny could feel his legs develop into hocks, the limbs thickening at his thighs and thinning down his lower leg until the hard dark hooves that were now his feet. "Oh dear..." he let out as the great tapered legs couldn't keep himself upright even as half human and he fell forward he tried to catch himself. However as he landed on two more hooves, it was clear his arms were already developing into forelegs. His shoulders and elbows shifting into the more appropriate direction to be quadrupedal.

The Gryffindor wobbled on all fours as his body filled out becoming far more bulkier in both body and fur. Then his neck thickened and lengthened to move his head back up to an upright position. The latter finally took on the appearance of a deer as well with a muzzle containing his mouth and nose up front and his ears moved up and to the back of his skull. The last change or rather addition was the tell-tale prongs of his antlers that developed and grew into a nice rack from the top of his head.

And then there was one full grown buck standing nearly still and upright by the whomping willow.

That was seriously embarrassing. Hopefully, that won’t affect his reputation in school…that is, if he ever had a reputation in the first place. But, dignity, you know? He needed that, thank you very much. With his donkey eyes staring at a flailing parrot, Ethan tilted his donkey head and wondered what on earth Owen was doing?

…

And bless those holy donkeys, Owen was flying! Why didn’t he think of taking a form of a bird instead of a donkey? Must be awesome up there! Donkey!Ethan applauded, pounding the ground again with his front hooves, his tail whipping the leaves on the ground. He must’ve looked REALLY ridiculous!

Too bad Owen didn’t last in the air, because sooner than expected he was falling on the ground fast! Ethan wanted to catch his friend, but hello hooves! Ethan whipped his donkey head left and right to see if the kid could land on something soft. Well, how about his mouth? Nope. Bad idea. Oh! Owen’s pile of clothes! Donkey!Ethan clutched the fabric with huge teeth, but then Owen had already hit the ground even before he could lift his massive head to throw his shirt.

Wait…did the kid know that he’d be without clothing when he transforms back into his human form?! Merlin. Perhaps, his potion wasn’t that strong to include his clothes to transform too, eh?

But wait a minute…did Owen just…did he just?!?!? Yucky? REALLY? “Come over here, and I’ll give you a head butt, Owen!” he said playfully, but all that came out of his mouth were a series of “HEE-HAW-HEE-HAAAAAWWWWWW!!” Good Merlin. This was TOUGH. Realizing that he won’t get his message across, Donkey!Ethan let out an exasperated sigh

Ethan tried all his might to push his bottom half up, his donkey face contorting into an expression that looked like he’s got a bad case of constipation. “HAAAAAAWWWWW!!!” With shakey front legs, the donkey was able to FINALLY stand on all fours, but his joints felt like it was going to crack under his weight. Donkeys were supposed to be strong animals, yeah? Ethan tried to take his first step, lost his balance

*THUD*…and fell on his fat bum once more, sending dried leaves on the ground flying. “Haaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww…”

Benny chose a creature off of the his list? Hmmm... the possibilities however not endless, did give Adi a fair amount to guess at. "Badger?" It was the number one creature on his list that he wanted Benny to be. Hehe. "You do that,'' Adi replied now shaking his vial of potion (measured out to the appropriate amount for for no overdosing to happen) so that it swirled around. Look at the now brown liquid goooooo!

On Benny's count to three, he lifted the vial to swallow the contents. Hmmm... it didn't taste too bad. "Tastes like raw meat,'' he had just enough time to utter. Was the meat road kill? Haha. Adi didn't know but because eagles ate raw meat as part of their diet would explain why the potion tasted like that. But why did he just have enough time to comment of the taste? Because the first change that happened to the Hufflepuff was his mouth.

It started protruding outwards and hardening at the same time. Adi's eyes widened slightly as his hands rushed up to feel the forming beak. His eyes snapped to Benny to see him also in the transforming process. Haha. His bestie was haaaaairy! But then there was more distraction for the Hufflepuff. Suddenly he started shrinking! Like WOAAAAAAAAH! The ground RUSHED up at him and instinctively his arms shot out to protect himself from landing on the ground. Of course this didn't happen.

What was happening was that he felt his now short limbs twisting and changing (slightly painfully) as the bones rearranged themselves to form an eagle's legs. Talon's formed shortly afterwards. The next thing Adi noticed were the brown and black feathers that were shooting out all about him.

He opened his mouth to comment on how incredibly cool this was but... right! He had a beak and all that came out was a high pitched and shrill whistle. All this while he had his hands, torso and face so that he looked like some freak of nature but now those even were starting to change beginning with the torso which shrank to an eagle's chest. It was now completely covered with brown feathers.

Did we mention the grinding and shifting of bones sounded horrible? It did! Adi hated the sounds. He tried to ignore them as his hands started to change. They sort of shrank inwards, their bones rearranging too and feathers taking over. The rest of his face was the last to go. His head and brain shrunk as his neck grew thinner and longer. His eye pulled back further on either sides of his bird face than they would have been on a human's.

Where seventh year Aditya Rehman once stood, there was now a Golden Eagle replacing him. His sharp talons clutched the ground, piercing eyes gleaming fiercly and sharp, hooked beak snapping a bit. He ruffled his feathers, the brown ones on his back and the golden ones at the back of his head.

OH, HEEEEEEY, BENNY! Adi was finding himself looking up at his now four legged friend.

Owen could feel that somehow his companion was actually trying to communicate to him through all the heehawing. That, or the donkey was simply noisy. it didn't try to eat him, in fact it tried to soften his fall, so maybe the donkey WAS really Ethan. "JOKING AAWRK!" Trying to chortle, Parrot!Owen was only able to get his feathered neck to vibrate. Was this how parrots laughed? Or was he yet their secret birdie language? At least he was able to figure out now how to talk...sort of.

What was not so great about this whole thing was his being so small. He had to fly again. He just HAD to. For his own safety, considering Donkey!Ethan was now trying to stand but still failing. He could get splatted by the large animal any moment if didn't move away. So the little parrot began to flap its multi-colored little wings once more. FLAP FLAP FLAP.

Hop!hop!hop!

...once again he was flying!

Slowly, slowly, he ascended....flying upwards in single direction... SQUAWK! He was uncoordinated at first. Merlin, even in his animal form his tummy was still protruding. Can't hide the fact that he was not a very picky eater, huh? It made the maneuvering more difficult but he was a determined parrot.

And the determination paid off...because by now, he was level with Donkey!Ethan's face! "EEETAN!" Squawk, squawk! His companion was trying to make progress with his animal self, it seemed. When the donkey took it's first step, Parrot!Owen panicked. He was in the way and he didn't know how to move away! He only knew how to lift himself up...! AAAAHHHHHH......! so once again, he was flailing, flapping his wings over the place. He even thought he hit Ethan's face in the process! Hopefully not.

He continued to scramble about and at the same time Donkey!Ethan lost his balance and fell to the ground...Parrot!Owen also lost control of his wings and fell...on top of the donkey's head. Using his claws, he immediately anchored his birdie self onto his companion's head. Sorry if it hurts, Ethan! He wanted to say. The ground looked like a long way down and he was not really interested in testing that theory out. He'll just stay perched here for the meantime.

Yuuuuuuup.

Merlin he felt heavy. His bottom hurts, and probably he cracked his hip in the process. Who would’ve thought being an animal would be hard? He can’t even lift his bottom half up like a decent, four legged creature. Ethan looked…ridiculously funny in his situation. Oh the humiliation if Josie saw him! Or wait…maybe she’ll find him cute? Okay, maybe NOT.

Grunting, and braying helplessly, Donkey!Ethan tried to stand again on all fours, but Owen had to distract him by calling his name! “HAAAAAAAWWW!” This was unfair. Owen could talk somehow, but he simply couldn’t. HOW on earth will the first year know what he’s trying to say IF he even tried to say anything, yes?

Wobbling, Donkey!Ethan crashed on the ground again with a dull thud, and Parrot!Owen was now on top of his head. “Please don’t transform back into human Owen just yet. You will break my neck once you do.” Ahem. “HEEEHAAAWW!! HEEEEHAAAAAAAW.” Ethan tried to shake off the parrot on his donkey head, but didn’t succeed. He tried another method, this time with his donkey tongue.

It felt weird to have an unusually long tongue, and what was even weirder is the fact that he can actually lick.his.donkey.nose.

Gross. How large are his nostrils right now anyway? Someone should take a picture and show it to him!

Yup. Definitely distracted over here.

Donkey!Ethan was heehawing again and trying to shake him off his head. Nooooo, Ethan. You'll make us fall! Ahhhh! Parrot!Owen clutched on his head tighter, bracing himself for another wave of shaking off...which did not come. Cautiously detaching his claws, Parrot!Owen quickly hopped to situate himself on the center of the Slytherin's head and took a peak through his parrot eyes what got his friend busy.

Blink. Blink.

Was he...oh yes, he was! He was licking his own donkey nose! "HRA HRA HRA!" Owen was beside himself. He was laughing in his own parrot way...with his feathered throat moving up and down accompanied by incessant squawking. Holy hersheys! This was too funny. He was fly!hopping on top of the donkey's head, mentally cracking up at the sight. "EEETAN! YUCKY..." ......"MOAR!" Hahahaha!

Still in stitches, it took a while before the young badger noticed that he was feeling...different. There was a feeling of heaviness, his parrot!head started rocking to and fro. His wings felt like it was growing...literally. Was he returning to his normal self now?!!! "ARWCKK!" His bones were growing...he could feel his bones growing. This was so weird and weird and weird...His beak was getting smaller....his feathers were dematerializing. He really was turning to normal!

EEEEEEEPPPP!

What to do what to do...he was still on top of Donkey!Ethan's head! He couldn't go back to his normal body there. Someone will be really injured so the transitioning Parrot!Owen took the plunge, aiming for his pile of robes with his eyes shut as he made the jump....just in time as he returned into his normal human form to lumpia!roll into his robes BECAUSEHOLYBROCCOLIHEWASNAKED!

....

.........

"AHHHHH!"

SPOILER!!: Eagle!Adi

It was the number one creature on his list that he wanted Benny to be. Hehe. "You do that,'' Adi replied now shaking his vial of potion (measured out to the appropriate amount for for no overdosing to happen) so that it swirled around. Look at the now brown liquid goooooo!

On Benny's count to three, he lifted the vial to swallow the contents. Hmmm... it didn't taste too bad. "Tastes like raw meat,'' he had just enough time to utter. Was the meat road kill? Haha. Adi didn't know but because eagles ate raw meat as part of their diet would explain why the potion tasted like that. But why did he just have enough time to comment of the taste? Because the first change that happened to the Hufflepuff was his mouth.

It started protruding outwards and hardening at the same time. Adi's eyes widened slightly as his hands rushed up to feel the forming beak. His eyes snapped to Benny to see him also in the transforming process. Haha. His bestie was haaaaairy! But then there was more distraction for the Hufflepuff. Suddenly he started shrinking! Like WOAAAAAAAAH! The ground RUSHED up at him and instinctively his arms shot out to protect himself from landing on the ground. Of course this didn't happen.

What was happening was that he felt his now short limbs twisting and changing (slightly painfully) as the bones rearranged themselves to form an eagle's legs. Talon's formed shortly afterwards. The next thing Adi noticed were the brown and black feathers that were shooting out all about him.

He opened his mouth to comment on how incredibly cool this was but... right! He had a beak and all that came out was a high pitched and shrill whistle. All this while he had his hands, torso and face so that he looked like some freak of nature but now those even were starting to change beginning with the torso which shrank to an eagle's chest. It was now completely covered with brown feathers.

Did we mention the grinding and shifting of bones sounded horrible? It did! Adi hated the sounds. He tried to ignore them as his hands started to change. They sort of shrank inwards, their bones rearranging too and feathers taking over. The rest of his face was the last to go. His head and brain shrunk as his neck grew thinner and longer. His eye pulled back further on either sides of his bird face than they would have been on a human's.

Where seventh year Aditya Rehman once stood, there was now a Golden Eagle replacing him. His sharp talons clutched the ground, piercing eyes gleaming fiercly and sharp, hooked beak snapping a bit. He ruffled his feathers, the brown ones on his back and the golden ones at the back of his head.

OH, HEEEEEEY, BENNY! Adi was finding himself looking up at his now four legged friend.

There were two things Benny the stag noticed as the changes settled and he strove to adjust to them all. One was the fact that his eyes were now spaced out so his vision was majorly scewed. Sure he could see on either side of his head but he went almost crosseyed trying to see everything that was normal to himself as a human rather than his pheriferal vision which seemed to be normal view for a deer. The second thing was that Adi had completely disappeared from his field of view as both their transformations had went into full effect. It was only as he remembered that his friend had used a feather that the Gryffindor thought he should look down.

Easier said than done.

*Adi?* He called, a weird sound escaped him instead which sent his furry ears a flutter as they caught it . Nope, he couldn't speak. His four hooves pawed the ground alternatively as the transformed 7th year struggled to get used to his tempermental balance as well as figure out moving his head and vision. Ironically antlers felt heavier on the deer head they properly belonged on than his human head when Adi got him with the proper spell during a duel. Benny tentatively bent his neck, the movement happening faster than he had attempted as the weight of the appendages made him more than a little top heavy.

How did stags move very much? What with both a heavy furry body on spindly legs and a weighted rack on top of a smaller head. Benny couldn't imagine doing it himself, especially in bad weather.

He finally got his head down far enough, his legs still pawing in place as his human mind tried to counteract the fear of falling. His line of vision adjusted down in the process and he could see the ground nearest him more clearer. Though it was only as he gingerly swung his head, antlers and all, that he finally spotted a large brown and gold bird perched on the ground...an eagle.

Hello Creature!Adi...

His nostrils flared as his snout neared the transfigured eagle, the stag sniffing his friend. The loose lips of his current form moving to reveal his animal teeth but nothing coming out except maybe a heavy breath. Maybe he could manage signals like he did when he was a dragon...if the eagle eyes of the Hufflepuff could make them out. Or he could manage more flexibility with his forelegs than he could at the moment.

COOL!

Him and Benny were an eagle and a reindeer respectively. Nice choice, Benny. Nice choice! Adi approved! He opened his beak to say that but of course all that came out was the looooow whistle like sound. And WHAT was that reindeer doing? GREAT HIPPOGRIFFS! It was sniffing him! Amused, the eagle playfully swatted at the reindeer face with his left wing, not really feeling much in the way of the swat since the feathers were not flesh and didn't have the things that allowed the sense of touch and feel to happen. Nerve endings they were call, yeah? But.... Oi, Mr Reindeer! You need a breath mint, Reindeer Benny!

The Eagle took a tentative step forward on his new limbs. WOAH! Wobbly! That's what Adi felt in his feet. A few more steps, though had him adjusting in no time. But you know what was the most awesome thing? THE SENSE OF SIGHT! MAN! IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE!

Human eyes are built NOTHING like these eagle ones. Adi was looking in the direction of the Castle and he was POSITIVE he could see persons moving around in there. And no, he was not talking about blurs but their actual faces could be recognised! Could he trade his human eyes for these, please?

Still not over the awe of his temporary eye sight, Adi decided to test the wings. Let's see what these babies could do!

His nose…his donkey nose felt WEIRD, and the thought got him distracted, and didn’t hear what Parrot!Owen had said. Instead, “Haaaaaawww!” he let out a sound, that meant, “That tickled!” if he were still in his human form. Was this how a donkey cleans its nose? He did INHALE a tiny flying bug around earlier, so there must be a way to get it out? Flaring his nostrils, donkey!Ethan tried to exhale the poor bug, but to no avail.

Yep. That bug just might still be in Ethan’s nose if he transforms back into his human form. The thought was pushed aside though, because Owen was now in his human form once more. Thank Merlin the boy was no longer standing on his head, because he was sure the Hufflepuff would’ve crushed his muzzle in an instant.

Donkey!Ethan just sat there, and watched the boy roll himself up like a burrito. Lololol! His potion wasn’t strong enough to transform his clothes too, leaving him naked! Bahahahaha!

“HEEHAAWWW!!! HEEHAAAAAAAWW!!!” Donkey!Ethan laughed and laughed, and continued to sit on his spot, watching Owen try to get out of a sticky situation. Freaky donkey, is freaky.

At least he wasn't the only one trying to communicate and failing. Benny noticed that opened mouth whistle that probably meant something that couldn't be conveyed between two random creatures even transfigured ones. The light, playful swat against his elongated nose was better understood and he would have chuckled if he was in his normal human form. He settled for a snort of sorts, with heavy breath, his head shaking from side to side. Woah...moving antlers! The reindeer stopping the shake of the head and having to settle the weird feeling that had developed.

They were definitely a bigger deal as a deer.

Benny watched as Adi tried to walk, briefly reminded of his own attempts as a canary. At least his friend was more appropriately sized for the bird-legs and the ground had a bit more give than the floor of his kitchen at home. But the eagle still wibbled and wobbled along the ground. He raised his head cautiously back up and decided to actually try moving himself. First one tentative leg and hoove forward and than another, with the rear legs countering the movement of the fore ones. It must have been a sight to see, a large reindeer and a smaller bird of prey walking awkwardly along the ground near the whomping willow like they were just born.

Seeing his raptor friend trying out his wings, Reindeer!Benny opted to give him a little push. He tentatively approached, lowering his neck and heavy head once more, using his snout to give Adi a playful nudge from behind, perhaps a little stronger that he might have intended.

Fly Eagle!Adi...FLY!

Adi was about to spread those wings when...

He smelled him even before he felt the push. INCOMING REINDEER BENNY! Adi tried to hop out of the way but too late! The combination of wobbly legs and Benny's fastness was too much. The eagle got hit in the back and was sent rolling... literally Head over talons, head over talons, head over talons!

Eagle Adi came to a halt facing his friend, staring reproachfully although he may look incredibly fierce due to the eyes and beak. Low whistling sounds came from him which could be translated to ''Is this revenge for turning you into a dragon and a canary?'' There would have also been a hint of amusement in his voice.

The eagle picked himself off of the ground, purposely turning around to shake its tail feathers in the reindeer's direction cheekily. Hehe. Right! Time to these these wings. He turned back to Benny then pointed with his left wing to the sky. "This feels weird,'' he thought. "Being a bird is weird. Wonder what Benny must be feeling.'' Indeed it was weird. What with having his own mind but a bird's body...

Anyway. Did Benny get what he was saying? HE WANTED TO FLY, MAN! Adi flapped his wings. Damn! This was harder than it looked! There was hardly any proper amount of breeze to help him lift off yet he continued to flap those wings. His wing span was ENORMOUS, by the way.

FLAP, FLAP, FLAP!

FINALLLLLY!

There was an increase in the breeze and the eagle rose from the ground. Up, up, up he went! ''This is fuuuuuun!" he whistled in Golden Eagle language. But the flapping was still draining him. The effort was a lot. How did birds manage this?
